Messages for our Year 9 Families
Coming up next week, Mr Dunn and I will be commencing the Pathways Preparation Plan (PPP) process with all Year 9 students.
This begins with an overview of Senior Schooling pathways and opportunities for our students. We will discuss what is required to be successful in Year 10 and beyond; alongside the three different pathways that are open to students from Year 10.
  • Academic Pathway
  • Workforce Pathway
  • Blended Pathway

Students then have the opportunity to work through their PPP Booklet that is required to be completed prior to their PPP Meeting early in Term 3.

This information is also shared with parents and carers as part of our upcoming Career Expo on Thursday 8th June.

Parents and carers are welcome to explore the stalls from 4:30pm and then attend the PPP Information Session at either 5:30pm or 6:00pm.

Messages for our Year 10 Families
Term 2 is filled with lots of exciting events for our Year 10 students. They are going to experience their first Exam Block and Work Experience later this term!

Exam Block – Monday 12th – Wednesday 14th June

During an Exam Block, students are only required to attend school for their scheduled exams. Students will receive a personalised exam timetable indicating the subjects, times and locations of their exams.

  • Students who are unable to be collected from school or walk home safely at the conclusion of exams will be supervised in a Study Room within the College Library.
  • Students are expected to be in full school uniform when attending school.
  • When required for a scheduled exam session, students must remain in the designated exam room for the entire scheduled session with their teacher.
  • Any VET students with outstanding modules of work will be required to attend VET catch up sessions during the exam block. Students will be required to attend these sessions until all required work is completed. 

Work Experience – Monday 19th – Thursday 22nd June

All Year 10 students are expected to engage in the Work Experience program. Mrs George (Industry Liaison Officer) has organised placements for all Year 10 students in line with the preferences that were submitted in early Term 1.

Students have started receiving the paperwork for their placements. These need to be signed by the student and a parent/guardian and returned to Mrs George in the Careers Hub as soon as possible please.

Students are expected to make contact with their Work Experience business/supervisor prior to their commencement to confirm:

  • Dress standard required
  • Start and Finish times

If students are unable to participate due to illness, they should advise both the Work Experience employer and the school of their absence.

We hope our Year 10 students enjoy this opportunity to experience the world of work!
